Creative Workshops for Process Design

(1 Day)

Back to Training Courses Learning Objectives Audience Outline

Course Summary

Most process management techniques focus strongly on discovery and analysis of existing processes. Classical methods as well as Six Sigma and Lean have their roots in the assumption that you can analyze your way to improvement. These approaches in and of themselves, however, cannot lead to breakthrough thinking and a completely new business model. Innovation requires that different approaches be used that learn from the past but envision a different future with different styles, approaches and designs, unconstrained by existing rules. This session will examine some approaches that are proven and repeatable to conceive, model, test and validate novel approaches to realizing process opportunities. You will work in teams to innovate some classic process problems.
